What can I say about Diego? Gound & pound is not enough in mma, he needs to work on using kicks, Eelbows & enjoy the sport like before.

this coming fight will answer many question about size and power @ 170.

Roan gave Jon Fitch an ok fight but Diego did better then Roan vs Fitch.

All in all he can be a great fighter, i see him one day has the 170 champ or 155 champ.

He is still young~!

I hope Diego comes back strong. He is very well rounded, but he always seems to come in the with a very one dimensional mindset, like a boxer agaisnt riggs and Kos, and a BJJ specialist agsint Fitch. He needs to come in with all his tools, his gameplans are not very good.

Diego Sanchez is the most exciting fighter in MMA

He’s never been stopped

His head was messed up in his last fights

He will be back and beat their heads in.

[quote comment="273026"]The UFC is throwing Sanchez a bone by giving him a much easier fight to win with Roan Carneiro (compared to Marcus Davis or Jake Shields).[/quote]

How is he going to fight Jake Shields? Did the UFC sign him?

Diego is a good fighter, but I think he needs to utilize some kicks more to strengthen his game.
